1930 Manitoba Farmers' Library Bulletin No. 64 – Laundering and Dyeing – Third Edition

A genuine piece of Depression-era Canadiana: the September 1930 "Laundering and Dyeing" bulletin from the Manitoba Farmers' Library, published by the Manitoba Department of Agriculture and Immigration in Winnipeg. Written by Miss Eleanor G. McFadden, B.Sc. of the Manitoba Agricultural College, this Extension Bulletin No. 64 (Third Edition) covers household soap making, water softeners, washing powders, laundering woolens and table linen, and dyeing fabrics, carpets and hats. A fascinating window into prairie home economics nearly a century ago — great for Canadiana, agricultural history, or vintage domestic-life collectors.
